Located nearly 25 minutes on foot from Playa Blanca, the 4-star smoke-free The Garden Suites Santa Marta hotel offers Wi-Fi in public areas and a car park. The hotel is a good starting point for exploring Santa Marta, including the outdoor Marine World Aquarium, which is only 0.7 km away.

Location

Situated in the El Rodadero district, this Santa Marta hotel is within a few blocks of the El Rodadero Beach. The Garden is just a 5-minute stroll from the Santa Marta City Hall and 5 km from Simon Bolivar International airport.

There is the huge statue "Monument to El Pibe" approximately 6 km away, and Berlinastur bus station is a short way from the accommodation.

Rooms

The rooms comprise a seating area complete with air conditioning, as well as a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. They are appointed with a cupboard, and also feature tea and coffee making equipment.

Eat & Drink

El Morro 1525 offers Colombian meals and lies merely 650 metres from The Garden Santa Marta.

“I think that this place strikes a smart balance for families who want both beach access and a bit of peace. Select rooms come with kitchenettes, which is ideal for longer stays. It's situated in a quieter area of Santa Marta, yet still close enough to reach El Rodadero Beach without much effort.”
